About Cheese Bits

Artisanal snacking cheese made with passion and quality

What is Cheese Bits?

Cheese Bits is an artisanal, all-natural, on-the-go snacking cheese made in Northern California. We craft Pasta Filata cheeses—stretched or pulled curd that's kneaded in hot water for its signature structure. Our style is fresh Scamorza (Sca-More-Za), a delicious cross between fresh mozzarella and mild provolone, available in snackable Pearls and Tots.

Unlike fresh mozzarella, Cheese Bits has a lower moisture content, giving it a naturally firmer bite and cleaner, less watery snacking experience. With less water and more cheese solids, each serving delivers a higher fat and protein ratio—meaning more satisfying nutrition and better value to you.

We chose the familiar pearl shape to make Scamorza approachable and visually reminiscent of mozzarella, while staying true to its distinct texture and flavor. Another big benefit: shelf life. Cheese Bits lasts significantly longer than fresh mozzarella—90 days for Original and 120 days for our naturally smoked variety—so it stays fresh and ready whenever you are.

Our Story

Cheese Bits began with a simple idea: to make real cheese more snackable — without compromising quality, flavor, or authenticity.

What started as a small passion project among cheesemakers and food innovators has grown into a brand that bridges old-world craftsmanship and modern convenience. Working alongside Italian artisans, our founders perfected a method for crafting smooth, flavorful Scamorza cheese into bite-sized portions that fit perfectly into today's busy lifestyles.

In 2019, we brought that tradition to California's Central Valley, building a state-of-the-art facility dedicated entirely to premium snacking cheese. Since then, Cheese Bits has flourished — earning industry recognition, winning national awards, and delighting consumers who crave something better than ordinary string cheese or cubes.

Today, you can find Cheese Bits in over 2,500 stores across the U.S. and in growing international markets. From refrigerated grocery aisles to convenience stores and food-service kitchens, we're redefining what snacking cheese can be — flavorful, portable, and genuinely crafted.

At Cheese Bits, we're proud to bring a taste of artisan tradition to every bite — proving that premium cheese can be as easy to enjoy as it is to love.
